What industry veterans have to say about the Bharat NCAP

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) led by Nitin Gadkari, the Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, introduced the long-awaited Bharat New Car Assessment Programme or BNCAP, at a mega launch event which saw the participation from leading industry dignitaries, and key stakeholders, in New Delhi today. 

The BNCAP will be a voluntary programme and invite vehicle OEMs to get their cars tested and certified for star ratings based on performance in frontal, offset, and side-impact crash tests. The formulated crash test standards - AIS-197 - will impart star ratings by considering the adult occupant protection (AOP) and child occupant protection (COP) performance of vehicles and are based on global standards, taking references from international protocols such as the Global New Car Assessment Programme (GNCAP). 

Here is what Auto Inc has to say.
